Neurology – Tests & Diagnosis

Home / Medical Specialities / Neurology / Neurology – Tests & Diagnosis

Neurological conditions can affect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, often leading to symptoms such as headaches, seizures, memory loss, or muscle weakness. At Emirates Hospitals, advanced diagnostic techniques and a team of experienced neurologists ensure accurate identification of neurological disorders. The hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to provide a comprehensive range of tests tailored to each patient’s needs.

The diagnostic process begins with a detailed medical history and a thorough neurological examination. This includes assessing reflexes, muscle strength, coordination, sensation, and cognitive abilities. Depending on the findings, additional tests may be recommended to pinpoint the condition. Imaging studies, such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) scans, are commonly used to visualize the brain and spinal cord for abnormalities such as tumors, strokes, or multiple sclerosis.

Electrophysiological tests, such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG), are utilized to evaluate electrical activity in the brain and muscles. EEG is particularly effective for diagnosing epilepsy and other seizure disorders, while EMG helps detect nerve and muscle dysfunction. In some cases, a lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is performed to analyze cerebrospinal fluid, aiding in the diagnosis of infections, inflammation, or autoimmune disorders. Blood tests may also be conducted to rule out metabolic or genetic causes.

Emirates Hospitals emphasizes precision and patient comfort throughout the diagnostic process. The hospital’s multidisciplinary approach ensures that each patient receives tailored evaluations, enabling timely and effective treatment.

Diagnostic Tools:

  • Neurological Examination: Comprehensive assessment of reflexes, muscle strength, coordination, and cognitive function.
  • Imaging Studies: MRI and CT scans to detect structural abnormalities or damage in the brain and spinal cord.
  • Electrophysiological Tests: EEG for brain activity and EMG for nerve and muscle function analysis.
  • Lumbar Puncture: Spinal fluid analysis for infections, inflammation, and autoimmune conditions.
  • Blood Tests: To identify metabolic, genetic, or other systemic causes of neurological symptoms.
